This is not for data users. I tested the data by sending several mms emails the emails were 1.6KiB, 1.5KiB, and 7.4Kib in size. I got hit with a 1MiB charge (5 cents) for each email! Maybe everyone else does this but this seems extreme.

Anyway I turned the data off completely in my account settings. I don't need data on these accounts.

Just a warning to folks that are using data make sure you use at least a 1MiB at a time because you will get charged that much even if you use less than 1MiB.

What is the email address for this service? I sent myself an email and it came back as [email protected] (that is not my real number). I tried to send a reply message and the message could not be delivered because domain does not exist. I tried the tmobile mail extension that did not work either.

It's too bad you don't simply get charged for what the message actually uses, data-wise. But when you compare that nickle charge to what T-Mobile Prepaid (for instance) charges for an MMS ($0.25), it looks pretty good. Regardless, I'm not in the crowd that regularly sees something and thinks, "Oooh, I've gotta take a picture and SHARE this with all my friends". Meh.

Correct for T-mobile pre-paid pay as go, but if you have the other t-mobile prepaid plans (50 bucks a month - unlimited or 15 bucks a month - text messaging), MMS is included. This is a better deal if you use MMS a lot.

Live from the moto cliq xt. So far its dope. For some reason the phone was on airplane mode, but its cool. As I'm typing now I'm experiencing HORRID lag. But that has only occured right now. Still waiting for everything to port over plus I've got 15 days to to return it

So i put the SIM card in my Sidekick 08 for the heck of it, to my surprise(kinda) it says Family Mobile and although i'm in a "ported number transition" i can make calls and send texts, so on that note i returned the Moto Cliq XT. i just started receiving certain carrier texts, something that happens every time i port, but i can't use the web services. i was told i'd have to have it unlocked but i received an MMS but it didn't download. Is it possible that i may just simply need to wait for all the services to fully kick in or is it truly necessary for me to have T-Mobile unlock it for use with... um T-Mobile?

Sidekicks require sidekick service from t-mobile to get any kind of data... including picture messages
